According to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Fox is throwing everyone some pretty big curve balls this year. Fox is surprisingly moving their X-Men film release dates. Gambit, New Mutants, and Deadpool 2 all have new official release dates.

On the good news side of the report, Deadpool fans can rejoice as the film will now release a couple of weeks earlier on May 18th. Its original release date was June 1st. Interesting to note, Disney and Lucasfilm's Solo: A Star Wars Story is set for release the following week. So will they finally announce a move for Solo? Maybe.

Now the bad news side of this report. Josh Boone's horror thriller, The New Mutants will shockingly be pushed back 10 months. The film which stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Maisie Williams and Charlie Heaton, will not see its release until April 13th to February 22nd, 2019. Finally, the Gambit film which just lost another director will be pushed back from February 14th, 2019, to June 7th, 2019. No surprise on that last one.

While I've got some theories on this move, THR says that insiders are saying that one reason for the change is for the "studio to avoid having an overlap with X-Men movies in certain overseas marketplaces, where Mutants and Deadpool 2 would have been in theaters at the same time."

20th Century Fox has released a new featurette for THE POST highlighting actor Tom Hanks as Ben Bradlee. The featurette includes commentary from director Steven Spielberg, and fellow cast members Meryl Streep, Bob Odenkirk, and more.

Steven Spielberg directs Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks in The Post, a thrilling drama about the unlikely partnership between The Washington Post's Katharine Graham (Streep), the first female publisher of a major American newspaper, and editor Ben Bradlee (Hanks), as they race to catch up with The New York Times to expose a massive cover-up of government secrets that spanned three decades and four U.S. Presidents. The two must overcome their differences as they risk their careers - and their very freedom - to help bring long-buried truths to light.

The Post marks the first time Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg have collaborated on a project. In addition to directing, Spielberg produces along with Amy Pascal and Kristie Macosko Krieger. The script was written by Liz Hannah and Josh Singer, and the film features an acclaimed ensemble cast including Alison Brie, Carrie Coon, David Cross, Bruce Greenwood, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, Sarah Paulson, Jesse Plemons, Matthew Rhys, Michael Stuhlbarg, Bradley Whitford and Zach Woods.

The cast for the April 13, 2018 release includes Anya Taylor-Joy (Split, The Witch) as Magik, Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones, Doctor Who) as Wolfsbane, Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things, Shut In) as Cannonball, with newcomer Blu Hunt (The Originals) as Danielle Moonstar, Henry Zaga (13 Reasons Why) as Sunspot, and Alice Braga (Queen of the South, Predators, I Am Legend) as Dr. Cecilia Reyes. The shape-shifting alien Warlock will also appear as a CGI creation.

The New Mutants adapts the monthly comic book series of the same name that launched in 1982. Created by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod, The New Mutants follows a group of teenage mutants as heroes in training in the Marvel Universe.

Over the weekend at this year's SXSW festival, the good folks over at The Verge were treated to a special 20-minute screening of the highly anticipated film, Alien: Covenant.

It appears that what they saw was leading to the beginnings of some real answers for where the insanely terrifying alien creatures originally came from.

Here's what The Verge reported after seeing the spectacular footage:

"In the final preview scene, Michael Fassbender’s android David (he’s definitely the same character from Prometheus in this scene, as he’s called David by name) walks Billy Crudup’s character through his personal workshop of biological terrors. He shows off different mutations of the creatures, explaining that he has been trying to understand the aliens that were discovered inPrometheus, going so far as to genetically engineer new versions — a process that’s been waiting for one final puzzle piece to complete.

"That’s when David takes him into a small chamber filled with four eggs that look identical to the ones seen in the original Alien. The final puzzle piece, David says, is “mother” — a waiting host — and Crudup’s character is lined up for the honor. The dots are easy to connect: the alien as audiences saw it in 1979 wasn’t the result of evolution or natural selection. Instead, it was the result of an android intentionally breeding the most dangerous, lethal creature possible."

As we've all been suspecting, it appears that Michael Fassbender's David has gotten his head back on straight, but has now become what is essentially an android version of the infamous Engineers aka space jockies.
